So here’s how to make Mint Chocolate Chip Granola

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl and stir to combine. Once well incorporated, add remaining ingredients except for chocolate chips. Evenly spread the mixture on the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Bake for 20 minutes, lightly stirring halfway through. Remove from the oven and scatter chocolate chips across mixture. Leave on parchment paper and let cool completely. Usually a couple of hours.

While granola is cooling, get your jars prepared by adding decorative ribbon or fancy gift tags. Be creative! The opportunities are endless!

When completely cooled, break into little clusters and divide into jars. Place lids on jars, and tighten rings.
